    #38 - Rethinking medical biology with AI - Alexandre Guenoun - Kiro
    Nov 4 2024
    Medical biology and laboratories play an essential role in any health system. No wonder 70 to 80% of all medical decisions are based on laboratory test results. But even within the most advanced healthcare systems, the communication and analysis of lab data remain archaic. Processing times can be lengthy, even after the analysis is completed. Results are expressed as "out of range" or "in range", without complementary or actionable information. An experience still far from current technological standards, and a gap that Alexandre Guenoun and his team at Kiro intend to solve by redefining our experience of medical biology! Through faster and more personalized results for patients. With a suite of integrated clinical decision support tools for healthcare professionals. And a longitudinal database to accelerate biomedical research. A key service of any health system, at a turning point in France and soon beyond. We talk with Alexandre about: The importance of engaging each individual in their health journey The shift from disease-centered medicine to service-centered The Kiro experience for patients and healthcare professionals The role of technology in matching healthcare demand and supply The criticality of change management in healthcare innovation A key episode to understand the future of medical biology!

Paradoxical as it may seem, this is the thesis of Tryggvi Thorgeirsson and his team at Sidekick Health. As a medical doctor trained in Iceland in the 2000s, Tryggvi experienced rural medicine firsthand and what working as a general practitioner in a remote setting means. And he quickly found himself confronted with the limitations posed by the healthcare system at the time: Prescribing medications at the expense of other therapies where patients are guided toward healthier behaviors. The silos and impossibility of establishing a care plan that simultaneously takes into account multiple conditions. A purely reactive approach based on a brick-and-mortar model running out of steam. The emergence of smartphones and their potential as health companions became obvious to him. Based on this intuition, he co-founded Sidekick Health alongside his fellow physician and colleague Saemundur Oddsson. The company is now one of the leaders in digital therapeutics, offering a vast portfolio of therapies accessible from each patient's pocket, prescribed by thousands of doctors in Europe and the US. We talk with Tryggvi about the principles behind how these digital therapies work, how attention levers can be used to support long-term behavior change, and the growing impact these solutions have on individuals and healthcare systems. In the era of social media and the mental plague they represent, this episode brings a refreshing perspective on how dopamine can be used to put the health of individuals back in their own hands. Timeline: 02:35 - Tryggvi’s background as a medical doctor and electrical engineer 04:05 - What felt missing in Tryggvi’s rural medical practice 07:14 - Seeing early the potential of smartphones for healthcare 11:08 - Tryggvi’s definition of digital therapeutics 13:44 - The impact of digital therapeutics on clinical outcomes and cost of care 16:44 - Driving behavioral change and medical education through timely bite-sized pieces and gamification 18:40 - Sidekick Health’s approach to designing tailored and impactful digital health programs across multiple conditions 27:46 - Putting AI at the center of digital health programs and their usage 30:13 - Tryggvi’s vision for the future of healthcare What we also talked about with Tryggvi: PINK! Prof. Pia Wülfing Pear Therapeutics Daniel Kahneman Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health We cited with Tryggvi some of the past episodes of the series: #7 - Redefining motor rehabilitation with digital neurotherapeutics - Naveed Ejaz - MindMaze #17 - Coaching as the key to a better health - Eugene Borukhovich - YourCoach.Health #30 - Building the Shopify of digital health - Dan Vahdat - Huma As mentioned by Tryggvi during the episode, we recommend reading Exits & Outcomes by Brian Dolan as well as Second Opinion by Christina Farr, two newsletters that will keep you posted on the latest in digital health.
